Never to look back Why do I not get a second chance for my happily ever after?
Christopher only planned to take a quick look and leave but his legs seemed to be rooted to the ground. Unaware, Emile and Abbey continued with their heart to heart. “Daniel searched everywhere for Michelle without any luck. He didn’t give up until he came home one night a month later, worn out and drunk; I still remember that night” Emile sniffed as she recalled the heartache she felt when she saw the man she loved with all her heart, pinning over another woman.” “What happened that night?” Abbey couldn’t control her gossipy curiosity. “Nothing of the sort that you imagined with your overimaginative brain.” Emile scoffed before continuing. “That night, I took care of him.” Emile shrugged as she gave Abbey a simple explanation. “We started getting along well with each other after that.” Emile smiled at the distant memory and spoke in a daze “It was like we were getting to know each other and were beginning to fall in love.” “He would bring me flowers when he returned from work; s

Christopher had no idea of the torture she had been through. She had merely glossed over it the last time she opened up to him. He had no idea what they talked about after they discussed about the results of confronting Daniel with the truth. He couldn’t get through the fact that, that bastard had hurt his treasure time and time again.Christopher jumped back into his balcony in a daze. He didn’t want to hand his treasure back to such a bastard. He had to re-think what he was going to do. He went back to his room to unpack. He was packed and ready to leave after taking a quick glance at her. He didn’t want his presence to pressure her into making a decision she would regret.Christopher wasn’t the only one eavesdropping. Night Wing was also standing guard outside Emile’s door, but he couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly. However, the sound of the two women crying seemed to stab an unknown place in his chest especially the sound of that crazy woman crying. He never knew the craz

The scene that entered Night Wing’s eyes as he entered the room was Christopher was unpacking his bag. In the eyes of the beholder, the difference between packing and unpacking would be based on their perspective. Night Wing froze for a minute before opening his mouth “Boss…”“Order lunch for us as well.” Christopher chuckled seeing the normally indifferent Night Wing’s face alternating with the colours of the rainbow.“Boss…” Night Wing didn’t know what to make of his Boss’s current mood.“Don’t stand there stunned like an idiot.” Christopher walked forward and tapped his shoulder with a smile “Otherwise even I would have to doubt if Abbey’s assumption of buy 1 get 1 free was correct.”Night Wing turned to look at Christopher in a daze for a second before scratching the back of his head in embarrassment and turning to look if anyone else saw his embarrassment, more importantly if the crazy woman saw…. Christopher could hold any longer and laughed loudly.“Boss how did you know that I

Emile and Abbey leaned against the back of the sofa in the lounge room without any regard for their appearance hugging their bloated tummies in bliss.“Ahaa…. My stomach is going to burst. I am not eating for another month.” Abbey mumbled dishonestly although she had a happy smile on her face.“Thanks Abbey” Emile turned to look at Abbey and smiled. Abbey responded by smiling, blinking her eyes.“So” Abbey opened her mouth after holding it in for a while “I know it is not my place to say anything…..”“You can say anything to me…” Emile smiled as she turned to face Abbey. She could guess what Abbey wanted to say looking at the constipated expression.“Do you think you need to give Christopher an explanation?” Abbey wrinkled her forehead “I mean do you think it is fair on him?”“I owe him a lot more than an explanation….” Emie’s voice staggered into a whisper “But I just don’t know how….. this…. Everything is a lot more complicated now.”“I don’t see it that way.” Abbey shook her head “

Mossel bay airfield was well lit up although the sun was yet to come out. The staff didn’t know who the guests that were about to arrive were, but that didn’t affect their enthusiasm in the slightest. Officials swiftly organized themselves to receive the aircraft even though they received the order at short notice. All they knew was that the arriving guests could not be offended. 2 small sized private jets landed in Mossel Bay airfield in the wee hours of the morning. Although it was the wee hours, the small airport was bustling with activity and curiosity. Who were the people that were about to alight?However, the people who alighted didn’t seem to be affected by their curiosity nor the fuss. An elderly yet dignified couple followed by 4 couples, a middle-aged lady and a young lady alighted from the jets and passed through without any of the unusual demands or fuss.The only unusual thing if any was that the pilots of the aircrafts didn’t log off at the airport but followed the fam

“Ahem… ahem…” Adam cleared his throat and gave Christopher a look prompting him to speak.“Dad, this is Emile.”“I am not senile yet.” Adam snorted as he sat back.“Son, we know she is Emile.” Elizabeth pursed her lips that were curling up as she added in ridicule “I don’t think we can forget even if we turn senile after hearing it for the past ten years.”Emile lowered her head. She wished she could dig a hole and disappear; the giggling sounds of her to-be- sisters-in-law weren’t making her feel any better.“We know she is Emile. We know that you love her. We know that she didn’t like you.” Ericson took the baton for teasing from his parents.“We know that she is now divorced, and you threw all the big and small work at me, drowning my life and ran away from home.” Mark too joined in the fun.“…..and made the already non-existent time with our dad for me and my siblings disappear.” Miles jumped in to say his 2 cents worth as well.“Stop teasing” Veronica laughed “Otherwise the girl

Mark called for the waiters to bring breakfast over once everyone moved on from the sensitive topic of discussion. The staff arrived promptly and started serving a sumptuous breakfast. Everyone including Darcy started eating without waiting for Eva and Amanda to get back; It would be more apt to say that no one missed them.“How long are you staying?” Christopher asked once breakfast was out of the way.“If you are getting married within the week. We will stay back.” Elizabeth had a naughty smile on her face before it faded and she pouted with a sad expression “If not, we will leave in the afternoon.”Christopher rolled his eyes at his mom’s pathetic acting, but the truth was gullible Emile fell for it.“Auntie why don’t you stay back for at least a day or two?” Emile tried to persuade “Won’t it be tiring to travel without resting?”Elizabeth pursed her lips with a feigned difficult expression.“I need to talk to my folks… I cannot get married without their blessing this time; I have

“What so funny?” Emile and Christopher walked in as Abbey was laughing her head off.“Boss” Night Wing stood up with a curious expression.“Mom and Dad are here with the rest.” How could Chrsitopher not know what Night Wing wanted to ask.“What?” Abbey’s mouth was open wide, enough to fit a golf ball. She turned to look at Emile anxiously but relaxed after seeing her carefree attitude. “How was it?”“They are very nice.” Emile smiled.“So???????” Abbey dragged the syllable by raising her eyebrows in a taunting manner.“We are officially together.” Emile smiled happily as she held Christopher’s hand contrary to his expectation. Christopher thought that Emile would be shy and was ready to make the announcement, but he didn’t get the chance. Emile stole his thunder…... Even so, his face lit up like a 1000-watt bulb.“Wow!!” Abbey cheered as she jumped up and hugged Emile. She was so happy…. Happy that Emile could have her happily ever after.“What next?” Abbey asked after their emotions

The rest of Burkes followed suit without waiting for either Chris or Emile to respond; curiosity had gotten the better of them.Little baby was not stupid. How would he dare question little aunt? He looked over nonchalantly before making a gesture with his meaty fingers to indicate payment.“What do you want?” Both Harry and Addison asked in excitement.“I am very rich for the time being, so I will let Leo choose.” Little baby responded with a smug look and passed the honours to Leo.“Take us all on the trip to the Alps when fifth Uncle Walter is taking them.” Leo didn’t have to think as he told Addison what he wanted.Addison agreed without a second thought and walked back into the room the adults were seated, humming a song only to be despised by his mother, which he totally ignored and sat down happily with a thick skin.The fate of the rest of the Burke brothers were similar; no one was spared.

“Where are you going?” Henry teased as he caught the little overlord and hurled him in the air.“Put me down.” Bruno frowned, flailing his legs anxiously “I haven’t finished discussing with little uncle.”Everyone laughed as Henry put Bruno down, who promptly ran to Chris, looked up at him curiously, awaiting his decision.“Hur…hur…hur….” Chris chuckled “How would I dare renegade on a promise to our little overlord?”“Then when can we go?” Bruno asked seriously, taking no offense to the title, to him, this was recognition of his ability.“When we get back and whenever you say the word.” Chris never had any qualms indulging his nephews and nieces.“Where are we going?” Leo asked curiously.Bruno looked towards Chris who shrugged “It’s up to to the owner of the reward to decide, I am just the charioteer.”“Then let’s go to the ocean king’s castle.” Bruno didn’t have to think twice to make a decision.Chris “”Everyone burst out laughing, only the little ones looked curiously at Chris.“I

He was smart enough to decipher big treasure's cryptic message that he could find the answer by testing them himself, after sulking for a while, thinking about big treasure’s words over and over again. He rushed to Chris’s room once again, pulled Big Treasure aside and whispered hurriedly before running away. He then ran off to the apartment where the Burkes where resting. He went over to call Leo and Liam to play with him in the backyard with a crafty look in his eyes. All the Burke kids followed Leo and Liam to play, the main intent for the older kids following them was to keep them safe.He turned around to look at Leo with a guilty look in his eyes as he asked cautiously, “Would you stop talking to me if you find out that I landed you in trouble to test you?”“Why do you want to test me?” Leo demanded with a frown.“Because it is very important to me.” Bruno blinked his eyes, lowering his gaze as he whispered, “Like life and death situation that grown-ups talk about.”“Well, in tha

After the excitement died down, everyone decided to go out, sight-seeing, like proper tourists. Adam invited his friends who politely stayed back at the hotel sensing that Adam and the rest had family matters to sort out, to join the group. Just like that, the Burkes, Walters, Adam’s three friends, the two masters, Chris’s senior brother, Bai-Min and Lai-Li set off on their wild-life adventure, that they had booked with one of the tour groups. It goes without saying that the group included Adrian and his little family and Neil who dragged Chiara along with him. What was unexpected was that Emm pulled Amy, Abbey’s assistant to tag along with them. Luckily for Amy, she had Beth who got dragged into the family outing by Marcus to keep her company. Her boss had ditched her without a conscience the minute her ‘knight in shining armour’ appeared. On their return trip, even though they were all chatting, what attracted everyone’s attention was little treasure’s soft cute voice “Daddy, is it

The next morning, everyone was in high spirits without even a trace of the anxiety that passed through; although they were still waiting for an explanation, a closure to whole saga. The breakfast table was lively and cheerful. “Son, tell me is Emile really pregnant?” Elizabeth couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She asked once everyone had settled in the lounge area to relax after breakfast. “Um” Chris nodded although he was displeased inwardly; he wondered if his mother had truly changed or whether she was about to revert to her old ways. “Tell us how you know what was wrong with Little aunt.” Miles piped in from the background, turning everyone’s attention towards big treasure and little treasure, after being signalled by Marcus. He didn’t know why eldest brother wanted him to divert the topic, but he still obeyed. He didn’t always have to know the reason; eldest brother was in charge; he would follow whatever eldest brother asked him to do. “Daddy was too lost. We knew we had to

Outside the room, Chris Jnr finally managed to coax little treasure and sighed in relief. There was nothing he could do about it, his little ears and heart hurt from listening to little treasure’s wails. He would compensate his little brother in other ways. “How is your mommy?” Chris asked once little treasure had been coaxed. “She is fine.” Chris Jnr thought for a minute before answering; his mommy looked fine, she was sleeping peacefully. He leaned forward, close to Chris, gesturing little treasure to come close and whispered with a soft voice “Daddy, I touched a dragon.” “A what?” Little treasure’s eyes widened, surprise mixed with disbelief, reflecting in those adorable eyes. “Um” Chris Jnr nodded with all seriousness in affirmation to little treasure but not before he gestured little treasure to be quiet. “Daddy, are dragons real?” Little treasure leaned even closer as she whispered. “Maybe…” Chris shrugged before closing his eyes and mind linking with the two treasures “Da

“Jnr might be a good option.” Chris’s master slowly opened his mouth once he finished sifting everyone’s faces through his mind.Hua Yueren lifted his eyebrows questioningly.“He has been around her while she was away. Naturally, the apparition although only a figment of Azure’s consciousness, it will still be sharp enough to sense a friend from a foe. Also, since he is her biological son, his spirit must have a lingering smell of her essence.”Hua Yueren nodded; he didn’t have any better solution. They would re-think their plans if this one backfired.Chris’s master transmitted his message to Spector who promptly brought Chris in, in his usual manner of teleportation.Chris Jnr greeted the two masters and stood straight, neither servile nor overbearing, quietly waiting instructions; his demeanour brought a glint of admiration to the eyes for both men.“Son, can you see the apparition surrounding your mother?” Chris’s master knelt beside Chris Jnr so that he could level his gaze with h

Emile felt a bit anxious as she entered the room with Chris’s and Neil’s masters. Although she knew them, she wasn’t very familiar with them. She looked towards Lai-Li with an anxious gaze; Lai- Li was the only person in the group whom she knew a little better.“It will be alright.” Lai-Li comforted in a gentle voice as she saw Emile’s gaze resting on her uncomfortably.“Master Walter’s mood might get agitated and that won’t help us.” She explained patiently as she saw that the concern in Emile’s gaze hadn’t dispersed. “Neil is not used to our world, and he will be in a daze and that will not help our cause as we will need to be quick.”Although Emile didn’t fully understand, she nodded. She had seen Chris do unbelievable things before, stuff that couldn’t be explained by logic and science alone.“It will be quick. Everything will be back to normal as soon as you wake up.” Lai-Li coaxed gently as she patted her hands while Emile’s lids gradually grew heavier and finally, she closed her
Never to look back It is his fate... no one can escape fate!
“Daddy, little treasure is here.” Emm tugged Chris’s pants with grievance. She had been waiting patiently for daddy to coax little baby and carry her, but little baby had no intention of coming down.“Daddy’s little treasure is the most understanding treasure in the world.” Chris smiled as he knelt and carried Emm along with Bruno and headed to wait in front of the door.“Little brother, let me…” Darcy stepped forward extending his hands towards Chris with a sheepish smile. He wondered if he really was not cut out to be a good father; he was happily standing watching the drama unfold when Grace nudged him with a reproachful glare as she gestured with her eyes towards Bruno.“It’s okay.” Chris chuckled looking at Darcy’s embarrassment before turning his doting gaze towards his little treasure and then Bruno.Neither looked at him as they were both looking at the closed door with similar anxious expressions although the cause of their anxiety was different. Little baby’s world only had B
